More quotes by John Wooden
Details create success.
John Wooden
Passion is temporary. It doesn't last long. Love is enduring. And that's the important thing. If we all had love in our lives to the degree that we should, it would be much happier.
John Wooden

John Wooden
You should never try to be better than someone else, you should always be learning from others. But you should never cease trying to be the best you could be because that's under your control and the other isn't.
John Wooden
Promise yourself to make all your friends know there is something in them that is special and that you value.
John Wooden
